Numeric answers with specific labels
There are several types of numeric answers which are specifically labelled:
- Age-related numeric responses
- Physical measurements
- Quantities (generally food-related)
- Numeric responses with min and/or max values defined in the question
- Time period (duration) responses input as a numeric answer
Note: Specifically labelled answers are not created for distance (i.e. miles), single unit time responses with no defined min or max in the documentation (i.e. hours only, minutes only), and measurements without a defined length or size (i.e. days, nights, slices, cups, mugs, etc.). These are all entered as a 'How many' response domain.

| Physical measurement |
Physical measurement responses with a defined length or size are input as labelled numeric answers regardless of whether the question response contains a single measurement (inches, cm, mm, kilos) or a compound measurement (… lbs … oz; … stones … lbs; … ft … in). The answer label for the measurement unit should be fully spelled out regardless of how it is written in the questionnaire.
